To want to know a benefit of brexit?

[Dishwashersaurous]

I know that brexit has been done to death. But as we crash into a no deal and inevitable queues at the border my children are asking what is the benefit of brexit.

Could someone please tell me a tangible benefit that I can tell them- as I am struggling to think of anything

@lljkk

But But But... Blue passports!!

They sent me a burgundy one

Exactly!

@Dishwashersaurous

I know that there are no benefits.

Which then begs the next question- why are we doing it then?

because a slim majority of gullible idiots belived mendacious lies

I love how Brexiteers moan about threads being goady while STILL not being able to give a tangible benefit.

I know, you'd think they would be more than happy to share the wonderful benefits of the choices that they made...if only they could think of any.

A negative of Brexit is that it's basically doomed the country to be constantly affected by (and therefore discussing) Brexit for the foreseeable future.

Ds2 received his blue passport and it was quite a touching moment full of nostalgia 😄

I can't think of anything else.

You'll be waiting a long time for anyone to be able to provide examples of any benefit beyond the meaningless "taking back pur sovereignty". A really long time.

I'm in Kent, near Folkestone and Dover. The M20 is already regularly backed up with lorries at a standstill and the police doing rolling road blocks to try and space the traffic. Majority of people here will still claim it's a good thing. Because sovereignty. So depressing.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Fast vaccine approval. You wanted one.

Exactly!

Then call people brexiters when they say it's tiresum

All these threads are is people huffing around spoiling for a fight. Blatant like a spot on the nose.

Independence for Scotland...

The rich have already become richer on the back of it. That will continue.

What , you mean you wanted benefits for the average woman in the street?

Being able to set 0% VAT on items?

And so having less money to support those out of work and on benefits?

Nope.

Likely reunification of Ireland and independence for Scotland.

Dunno, but I am coming to loathe the word sovereignty. A boost for republicanism, maybe?

I’m a remainer and can see the benefit in taking away a layer of bureaucracy. We will be able to make laws that suit the U.K. better than an EU wide law.

I remember talk about the EU not having a trade deal with Mexico, way back. If this is still the case we will benefit from being able to negotiate a deal direct.

I’m sure it will be ok in the end. It will be a bumpy ride. I don’t have faith in BoJo etc and their huge egos. I do wonder if we will rejoin at some point, perhaps less integrated however.

I genuinely don't understand why the people who keep moaning about these threads being done to death keep opening them? It's pretty clear from the title of this thread what it's about, so if you don't want to talk about it, why not just ignore it? Why the need to police what other people are talking about, why not just leave them to it?

I have noticed that it's generally a feature of these threads that the Brexiteers rarely have anything substantive to say about Brexit, and mostly just complain about the notion that it's impossible to have a proper debate on here, or simply that they're sick of talking about it. Perhaps we could have more of a meaningful debate if they actually put forward some valid arguments? And perhaps they would not be quite so sick of talking about it they were truly confident about the amazing benefits that it was going to bring?

Is everyone determined to be as boring and miserable as possible?

We’ve done all this to death. We are stuck with it. (For a decade or so, at least). What are you getting out of the facetious whining?

I genuinely don't understand why the people who keep moaning about these threads being done to death keep opening them?

Honestly? Just then because I thought it was going to be something funny. A joke against the moaning genre.

Otherwise why not stick to the Brexit board with the other people who enjoy the futility of it all?

So, a misjudgment on your part, then?

Seriously, this is one of the most momentous changes in our lifetime. If you don't want to talk about it, that's your prerogative, but please stop trying to shut down the discussion amongst those who do. If it has Brexit in the title, just don't click on it.

Possibly good in a different electoral system but we still have the same antiquated FPTP system which essentially gives us a permanent Tory/right-wing government as they can be elected with huge majorities off the back of 25% of the electorate voting for them. The EU at least stopped some of their excesses.

Not a bexit supporter but I can think of 2. Live animal export for fattening and/or slaughter can be banned. The mess that EWTD made of doctors' hours and training can be addressed. And no I'm not saying doctors should be working more hours, just that the precise, detailed constraints of the WTR don't fit with medical training and led to almost all juniors effectively becoming shift workers, to the detriment of their training and patient care

Still not reading any benefits...!
